CVE-2026-63298 · LXD arbitrary lxc.conf directive injection via NVIDIA instance configuration

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

An improper neutralization of special elements vulnerability in LXD's NVIDIA instance configuration handling allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary configuration directives. By supplying newline characters within the 'nvidia.driver.capabilities' or 'nvidia.require.*' configuration values, an attacker can manipulate the generated lxc.conf file. This flaw enables the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system with the privileges of the LXD daemon.
